The network’s renewed all five dramatic series for the 2013-2014 season, and according to NBC all five shows have been given 22 episode renewal orders.
 
“On the verge of our 2013 fall scheduling decisions, we’re pleased to renew five drama series that will be important to our new season line-up,” stated Salke. “We’re proud and very appreciative of all of the actors, producers, writers and directors who work so hard to deliver such high-quality work week in and week out. These complex shows represent a broad range of genres and tones, and all of them stand out for us in a television landscape now filled with one-hour series. We’re especially pleased to be renewing Revolution and Chicago Fire — two first-season successes — and there will be more returning series announcements made in the next couple of weeks.”
 
Revolution has been averaging 11.8 million viewers and is the top-rated drama on ABC, CBS, NBC, and Fox. Chicago Fire debuted with 6.6 million viewers and has surpassed those numbers eight times this season. Parenthood is up 8% over last season and is averaging 7.1 million viewers. Grimm, inspired by the Brothers Grimm fairy tales, is Friday’s #1 series for adults and has improved on its audience numbers by 14% over last season. And Law & Order: Special Victims Unit will be entering its 15th season with this renewal.

Check Out New ‘Pacific Rim’ Footage

This Pacific Rim footage debuted at the 2013 WonderCon in Anaheim, but now director Guillermo del Toro has released it for everyone to check out. Says del Toro:

“This was originally intended for only WonderCon, but after listening to so many of you asking for more of the movie online, I think it’s time for me to show you more footage. Enjoy, my friends!”

Pacific Rim stars Charlie Hunnam, Idris Elba, Rinko Kikuchi, Charlie Day, and Ron Perlman. Warner Bros is releasing it in theaters on July 12, 2013.

The Plot: When legions of monstrous creatures, known as Kaiju, started rising from the sea, a war began that would take millions of lives and consume humanity’s resources for years on end. To combat the giant Kaiju, a special type of weapon was devised: massive robots, called Jaegers, which are controlled simultaneously by two pilots whose minds are locked in a neural bridge. But even the Jaegers are proving nearly defenseless in the face of the relentless Kaiju.

On the verge of defeat, the forces defending mankind have no choice but to turn to two unlikely heroes — a washed-up former pilot (Charlie Hunnam) and an untested trainee (Rinko Kikuchi) — who are teamed to drive a legendary but seemingly obsolete Jaeger from the past. Together, they stand as mankind’s last hope against the mounting apocalypse.
